November 1924. The Endeavour sets sail from Southampton carrying 2,000 passengers and crew on a week-long voyage to New York.

When an elderly gentleman is found dead at the foot of a staircase, ship's officer Timothy Birch is ready to declare it a tragic accident. But James Temple, a strong-minded Scotland Yard inspector, is certain there is more to this misfortune than meets the eye.

Birch agrees to investigate, and the trail quickly leads to the theft of a priceless painting. Its very existence is known only to its owner...and the dead man.

With just days remaining until they reach New York, and even Temple's purpose on board the Endeavour proving increasingly suspicious, Birch's search for the culprit is fraught with danger.

And all the while, the passengers continue to roam the ship with a killer in their midst....

Started off slow but kept reading very good story lots of twists! I would recommend to any one looking for a good detective story.

Wait till the end!

I have never written a book so hate to be disparaging but I found this story to be drawn out. I nearly abandoned it midway. The ending is somewhat surprising but simultaneously disappointing. I won’t elaborate in order to avoid spoiling for other listeners . Probably just not my preferred style
Of story telling.

Like listening to the radio before television

I hate this kind of story where the seemingly good guy is a wretch and the good guy gets done iI will say no more so as not to give the whole story away but aaarrrgggg!

With a caveat I give 4 stars

I hated this book. I never once felt anxious to listen but instead had to force myself to finish. It became increasingly ugly. There was not one appealing character, no humor, only meanness and a generous dose of stupidity. I hope to return it if I am allowed because I know I will never listen to it again as I do many really good audio books. The narration was fairly good.

Ugly

The setting and time period is promising, and the characters are interesting. The story might have developed but I gave up because the writing was stodgy, with no humor whatsoever. if you're looking for light entertainment, this is not it.

Disappointing
